 A round will consist of all four players throwing exactly one disc
 The first team will throw the disc twice, allowing both players to act as
the “thrower” and the “deflector” once
 Then, they will hand the disc to the opponent to do the same
 Each team will have the same number of throws, so if the team that goes
first gets to 21 points, the opposing team has one last round
 Exception: In the event that a team makes an instance win shot, the
opposing team will not be given a last shot

 A team must reach exactly 21 points
 If a throw would raise the team's score above 21, those points are
subtracted from that team's score (rather than added)
 A dinger (1 point) is scored when the deflector deflects the disc that hits
the goal without going in
 A deuce (2 points) is scored when the thrower hits the side of the goal
without assistance from the deflector.
 A bucket (3 points) is scored when the deflector redirects the thrown disc
into the goal

 An instant win is when the thrower lands the disc in the goal without
assistance from the deflector
 The opposing team does not get to match the toss

throwing team will be given the choice to take 1, 2, or 3 points

 Deflectors may:
 Move anywhere in the playing area to make a deflection
 Slap, hit, strike, kick, or knee the disc to redirect it
 Deflectors may not:
 Touch the goal at any time
 Catch, throw, lift, palm, pull, push, or double hit the disc
 Stop the disc in mid air to cause it to fall straight down

 If a deflector tips the disc into the goal and it bounces back out through the
top, it is counted as 1 point
 If a deflector tips the disc into the goal and it comes back out the slot cleanly,
no points are awarded
 If the disc is tipped into the goal and it comes back out the slot after
hitting the goal, it is counted as 1 point
 A deflector may not "save" an instant win that he or she thinks may pop out
the top
 In the case the deflector touches a disc inside the goal which has
entered from the instant win slot, it is counted as 2 points. If a disc enters
the instant win slot cleanly, and then it touches the deflector, it will be
counted as 3 points
 If the disc enters through the instant win slot and comes out of
the top without the deflector touching it, 2 points are awarded

then the deflector tips the disc toward the goal, it will be 2 points, provided
the disc touched the goal before it was tipped
 If the disc enters the slot and comes out of the top of the goal cleanly, the
deflector may tip it for a dinger (1 point) or a bucket (3 points)
 If the disc is deflected into the slot opening and comes back out through
the slot opening or the top, 1 point is awarded provided the disc hit the goal
